not a big deal. i'm going to keep this promise to you and that's how they get elected year after year making promises. pt time has come to say, these promises can't be kept. you know what? i think this freshman class of republicans have said we aren't going to lie to you anymore. we're going to tell you the truth. the truth is we can't continue on this course. we are going to level with you and say we have to reform it and save. we can't continue to borrow and not have substantial economic consequences for the next generation, we have to fix it. you may not want to hear it, but it's the truth. we aren't going to lie to you anymore. once we all know where we're at as a country, we can come together as a country, how do we fix the problem that we face as a country. when we have one party that doesn't want to acknowledge the problems that we face and want to mislead the american people about those problems, it's hard to have an honest conversation. i didn't come here to misrepresent the american people.
